Hi [MENTION=156886]bestpain[/MENTION],
Based on your post, I’d suggest you to get the replacement with ebay. As you mentioned, you just bought the drive; then I am quite sure; the drive is still under warranty with them.
If your WD Green drive is still under warranty, then you can proceed for RMA with us.

will the replacement drive through wd be new?
They are giving re-certified drives now. Somewhat similar to refurbished drives.
I am waiting for my replacement. Let's see what I will get.
Hi [MENTION=156886]bestpain[/MENTION],
For your information.
1) WD will always replace with a recertified drive if possible.
2) If the model is not available (like out of stock or not manufactured anymore), then the next available model will be given as replacement.
3) Typically, once WD receives the RMA'd drive, we'd check for any external damage that would void the limited warranty. If there's no signs of it, then the RMA would push through no problem.
4) The warranty on the current drive will be transferred to the new drive. This means that if you have 3 months left on the current drive, when you receive the replacement, it will also have 3 months warranty (plus 1 additional month for certain products).
